If the music industry starts suing wedding videographers just because of the music that is captured through the microphone, then the wedding video industry will die and uncle Joe will record the wedding on his camcorder, still get all those songs on the video and the creators will still not see a dime. Now, if there are people in the industry with any brains, they gotta see how they are losing money because they have a system that may work for TV and cinema, but not for small video businesses, and do something about it. |

Why would a musician license their music this way? Why would a choreographer choose such music? Why would an artist bother to perform to such music? If this were art, original music would have been commissioned for the performance and copyright would not be an issue. This is not art. Instead, it is a bunch of students dancing to prerecorded music. Such an activity is a type of derivative fan art. In the United States it is not considered fair use to distribute DVDs of such a performance without permission of the original music copyright holder. The students paying their tuition to the dance studio should suggest that the choreographer use music which permits making a video recording of the performance. |

There's a difference between the ephemeral experience of hearing some music in the environment and permanently capturing that same music as part of another copyrightable work |

But when we are talking about the music that is captured through the microphone, we have no choice in that. No couple is going to pay over a thousand dollars for a video where the bridal march is muted unless they hired their own string quartet, where the first dance songs are muted, and people dancing to some generic royalty free music of far inferior value and unknown to them. So in that, we don't have a choice. |

Okay, we have reached the point where I have had to edit and withdraw posts from
public view because of an all-too-common problem: attacking the messenger because the message was not agreeable. Just a reminder that above all, I expect our members to be perfectly polite to each other even if there is disagreement. The topic of this thread is one which has been discussed and debated many, many times before, and just like all of those previous times, this one is going around in circles and is accomplishing absolutely *nothing* except aggravation towards fellow forum members. That is always my signal to close and lock the thread. Thanks to everyone who contributed, especially to those who kept it polite and civil throughout. |
